Project Management Consulting

Successful projects are NOT the result of successful planning.
They’re the result of skillful execution.

Despite all of the work done to improve project performance, the record of actual project completions is dismal. Project management is a complex, messy, difficult affair, which often leaves project participants (and owners) unhappy with the outcome. The traditional approach to project management emphasizes planning and tight control of project scope, but in practice, after the beginning of the project, plans are rarely updated and used to guide the execution of the project.

Proven project execution methodologies are rare; the literature and research pays little attention to developing a “best practice” for delivering projects. It seems that everyone assumes that with a plan, the outcome will match. Experience shows this is not the case.

We have learned there are several leverage points in the execution process that make the difference between success and failure. By following these 7 principles, the results achieved during project execution are achieved with startlingly impressive performance.

These seven principles are at the core of the project execution process we call ViewPoint.

By making strategic changes to your project execution processes, you’ll create a unified approach where your teams will be working on the most important issues using the right tools to get the job done. Your teams will begin to do what they are supposed to do; facilitate focused, lasting improvements that improve the position of the company as a whole.
